Description
The Smithsonian Tropical Data Portal is intended to facilitate open and discoverable reuse of Smithsonian research data products. It is the culmination of knowledge from the researchers, fellows, collaborators, & interns of STRI, past and present.
The Smithsonian Tropical Data Portal is an DataONE hosted research data repository intended to facilitate ecological, environmental, earth, and anthropological science research in the broadest senses. For scientists, the Smithsonian Tropical Research Portal is an efficient way to share, discover, access and interpret complex ecological, environmental, earth science, and sociological data and the software used to create and manage those data. Due to rich contextual information provided with data in the STDP, scientists are able to integrate and analyze data with less effort. The data originate from a highly-distributed set of field stations, laboratories, research sites, and individual researchers. The STDP supports rich, detailed metadata to promote data discovery as well as automated and manual integration of data into new projects. The STDP supports a rich set of modern repository services, including the ability to assign Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) so data sets can be confidently referenced in any publication, canonical DOI linking in case researchers want to replicate their published datasets in the STDP, the ability to track the versions of datasets as they evolve through time, and metadata to establish the provenance relationships between source and derived data.
